As the weather warms day by day, the spring of Zhenguan's twenty-second year has gradually come to an end. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After that time, for some reason, the matter of choosing a side concubine for the prince suddenly died down. Wei Guifei was strange and also mentioned it in front of the emperor, but what she got was just the emperor's care about him.

After several inquisitions to no avail, the nobles of the palaces who got the news also rested, and An An did his usual pastime.

Merchants and merchants gradually became busy, and they were often ordered by the nobles of each hall to sing a song or dance or something. Fortunately, there is no news about the selection of side concubines, and the outstanding performance of the merchants at the Qujiang banquet did not arouse the jealousy of everyone in the palace, otherwise, just those bright and dark cold arrows, the merchants are afraid that they will have to be careful to deal with them.

This hectic and hectic March has passed, and in the blink of an eye, it has come to the two important days of April.

In today's Tang Dynasty, if there is one thing that is as important as the Buddha Bathing Festival on the eighth day of April, I am afraid it will be regarded as the death sacrifice of the eldest grandson queen. On this day every year, the emperor will always worship the Buddha and worship the tomb of the eldest grandson and queen.

The major temples in Chang'an City will follow the will of the palace and open the water and land dojos to chant and pray for the deceased Empress Changsun; Representatives are elected to participate in the release ceremonies in major temples, and many prison criminals who are not heinous will be pardoned or have their sentences commuted on this day.

In short, although Empress Changsun died young, she also blessed many small people. Of course, this also includes the two elder brothers of the merchants.

The day before Empress Changsun's death, a fierce dispute broke out between the court and China, and the reason was that the crown prince proposed to pardon some of the untouchables for the death sacrifice of Empress Changsun. A group of imperial historians under Li Ke's sect talked in front of the emperor that it was better to rule the country by benevolence, and resolutely opposed the practice of pardoning people who were guilty of crimes and giving grace, and even insinuated that the prince was too benevolent and easy to fall for traitors and villains.

For a while, the court was in a-for-tat confrontation, foaming at the mouth, and everyone was red-faced, and the noise was almost heard all over the palace. The ministers of the palace were all involved in this war of words.

Li Shimin, who was in the main position, couldn't bear it anymore, and in a fit of anger, he reprimanded Li Zhi and Li Ke and walked away.

The noisy merchants in the Ganlu Hall were not very clear, but they only heard Fu'er who came back from lunch. Only then did I know that Li Zhi and Li Mo originally planned to write an article at the death sacrifice of Empress Changsun, but I am afraid that it will not go so well.

"Su Sile, what did the emperor say when he asked you to go? Why don't you look very happy when you come back? Fu'er, who was beside Shang Shang, asked with some curiosity. It was the first time she saw Shang Shang in such a trance-like situation, and she couldn't help but be a little worried.

Fu'er's curious question interrupted Shang Shang's thoughts, and she came back to her senses and smiled at Fu'er: "It's nothing, I just remembered something and lost my mind." ”

The merchant took the food box on the side, filled two snacks on the table and handed them to Fu'er: "You go and sit outside in the shade of the tree, I'll just come here." ”

After sending Fu'er away, the merchant continued to sit down and pack up the contents of the wooden box, the season had changed, some clothes had to be packed into the box, and the summer clothes should also be taken out.

While busy with the things at hand, the mind of the merchant was not idle. Li Shimin's words kept tumbling in her head.

This old man who has been in the top position for a long time, even after a serious illness, still has extraordinary shrewdness. The actions of the three Li Zhi brothers could not hide anything from this condescending old man.

Just based on Li Shimin's words in the empty hall, Shangshang quickly understood that it was not so simple for her to let her two brothers turn into good names, as long as he Li Shimin reigned for one day, I was afraid that this matter could only be far away.

She didn't expect that Li Shimin would not shy away from revealing Li Mo's identity. This made her feel like she had fallen into a trap, in so many film and television works watched in later generations, as a lowly character, the more she knows, the faster she often dies, this is almost an immutable law!

And her trick is not only to know the secret, but also to be held by the person who has the secret, what kind of complicated situation is this?

Although the exchange conditions proposed by Li Shimin are extremely tempting, they invisibly create a kind of estrangement between her and Li Mo, so that the original simple emotions are mixed with the exchange of interests. The businessman sensitively felt that something seemed to have changed at this moment.

As for whether this change is good or bad, the merchants can't say for the time being.

"If you want your brother to get out of the lowly status, then you have to do what I want you to do, and every time you do it, your brother can get out of the lowly status one day sooner! Until you have done everything I want you to do, your brothers will be able to live in peace and security! ”

Li Shimin's cold words always echoed in the mind of the businessman, making her brain almost a pot of porridge.

"Now for the first thing, you must convince Mer to pay homage to his mother's mausoleum! If you do it well, what I promised you will be half fulfilled first. ”

Although the merchant originally planned to persuade Li Mo to go to his mother's mausoleum to worship. Because no matter what, Empress Eldest Sun is Li Mo's biological mother after all, but once this idea is added to Li Shimin's order, it all changes the flavor.

On the way back, the merchant even thought about leaving it alone, what did the two fathers and sons love to do! Isn't it okay if we don't wait? But when he thought of Li Mo's loneliness for so many years, his heart couldn't help but soften.

"Forget it! It's up to you to save face! The merchant threw a large bag of clothes into the box and muttered.

After cleaning up the heavy clothes in the room, the merchant asked Fu'er to make a bucket of hot water, take a comfortable bath, change into a thinner Luo skirt, and told Fu'er to take care of the house, and then went out with a waist card.

Since she can't get rid of it, she has to earn some benefits for herself, right? When she faced Li Shimin, it took a lot of effort to hold back and not scold!

Thinking of Li Shimin's self-righteous appearance, Shang Shang couldn't help but snort from his nose. tightened the small bronze medal on his waist, and the merchant laughed at himself, if he loses, he will gain! The result of enduring and enduring is to exchange for such a token at any time, so that she doesn't have to be so troublesome if she wants to leave the palace in the future!

Out of the palace gate, the merchants went west along the crowded Suzaku Street, turned two streets and saw the cornices of the kitchen road, and looked at the hearts of the merchants who were close at hand and jumped with joy.

In any case, the kitchen is also a place where she has paid a lot, not only has two brothers here, but also has the green sleeves who have always been loyal to her, which also makes Shangshang's heart less depressed and uncomfortable.

As soon as he stepped into the kitchen, the merchant smelled the familiar aroma of food, and although Su Minzhi, who was settling the account, was a little surprised that the girl came back on this day, he was still very happy, and he hurriedly threw the business to Xiao Liuzi, and accompanied the girl into the backyard.

During this period, due to the relationship between the emperor and vegetarians, several kinds of vegetarian noodles were specially designed in the kitchen, and they were also quite popular because of the color, aroma, and flavor, and the business was better than before, and the hall was also overcrowded.

Shang Shang went straight into the backyard and asked his brother to send someone to the prince's palace to deliver a letter to Li Mo, and he waited for him in the room. Su Minzhi was afraid that she would be hungry, so he asked Green Sleeves to bring a few snacks and put them in her room. Because the front yard was busy, the two only sat down and went downstairs.

Shang Shang didn't relax until his brother and Green Sleeves left the room. It's really hard to force a smile in front of her relatives, I just hope that her brother and Green Sleeves don't find out, she really doesn't want their little hope that has just risen to be dashed like this.

The merchant picked up a piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth as if chewing wax, and looked thoughtfully at the flow of people outside the window.

Although she asked the guy to send a letter to Li Mo, she hadn't figured out how to talk to Li Mo after meeting him. If he told him what Li Shimin said, the relationship between him and Li Shimin would inevitably become more stiff. Although Li Shimin had nothing to do with her, Li Mo couldn't help but care, she didn't want him to fall into deeper resentment.

But if she didn't say it, how could she explain that she was able to run out of the palace when everyone was in a mess? She doesn't seem to have that much ability, does she?

"Merchant! How did you get out of the palace? Just as the merchant was chewing on the already tasteless snack and hesitating, Li Mo's voice had already sounded behind her.

"You're here?" The businessman was a little at a loss, and his eyes avoided Li Mo's exploration. She hadn't figured out how to tell Li Mo at all, but the day after tomorrow was the death day of Empress Changsun, and she didn't have much time!

"What's wrong?" Li Mo was keenly aware of the avoidance of businessmen, which was something that had never happened before.

Even when the two were not very familiar with each other before, Shang Shang had never avoided him like this, something must have happened.

Li Mo took the merchant's hand and gently pulled her closer to him. He didn't like the feeling of being kept in the dark like this, it would make him feel that he couldn't grasp it, even if there was any difficulty, he also hoped that Shang Shang could tell him that the two of them could come up with a good way to deal with it.

"What's wrong? Aren't you supposed to be in the palace at this hour? How did it come out? Li Mo asked the merchant softly.

As soon as he received the message from the kitchen man, he hurried over, but he didn't expect to see the merchant with a sad look, which made him very unbearable.

"You guys didn't go well with my brother's citizenship, did they?" The merchant leaned into Li Mo's arms and asked in a low voice.

She didn't know how to speak, so she had to pick the most unconstructive topic, but she felt inappropriate when she asked, how could this sentence seem to be distrustful of Li Mo?

"Don't worry about the affairs of the two brothers, with the emperor's consistent style, he will definitely insist on praying for her on the death day of the eldest grandson, and no matter how much Li Ke opposes, it will not have a great effect. You can rest assured! ”

Li Mo was relieved to see that Shang Shang was worried about his brother's affairs. While comforting her softly, his arms were wrapped around the merchant and he wrapped her in his arms.

Shang Shang stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Li Mo's back, pressed his cheek to his chest, and felt his strong heartbeat. This stubborn man has been alone for the past twenty years, but God has mercy on him, and he has grown into such a great husband!

"Silence! Let's go and pay homage to the eldest grandson! Shang Shang whispered on Li Mo's chest. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
